Where the Hell Is Omaha?

I was just reading Valachi
Papers
and one passage was too funny not to share. I hope you will enjoy it as
well :)

The passage starts by describing a Senate hearings of one Valachi, the
first Cosa Nostra insider that gave informatio to FBI, the person who
actually first confirmed that the name of the organized crime
organization was Cosa Nostra, indeed. And then it continues:

"... Nebraska\'s senator Carl Curtis asked Valachi about the state of
organized crime in Omaha. After a moment\'s reflection Valachi
carefully cupped his hand over his mouth, turned to a Justice Department
official sitting next to him and whispered something. Those viewing the
scene could be forgiven for supposing senator Curtis had hit on a matter
of some importance which Valachi wanted to check out before answering.
